Migraine symptoms panic

[GonksHaveNoEyes]

Have suffered from migraines for many years but had a proper panic today. Had the usual flashing lights followed by a headache which wasn’t too bad tbh. Went to gym a few hours later as felt better but then had a proper brain fog/jumbled thoughts which scared the life out of me. Couldn’t remember how to get the tv back to the ordinary channel from cable, or my bank PIN number or work password which I use every day. I’m fine now but was really scared earlier.
I have a lot going on and a million things going through my head at the moment so hoping it’s just nothing. I do have a tendency to overthink and I’m a terrible worrier at the best of times.
Anyone else suffer or have similar?

if I have a migraine im just out of it the whole day feeling weird

Not to worry you OP but i'd get this checked. Similar happened to my mum twice, she forgot how to write on one occasion, then how to use the TV remote. Turns out they were TIA's (Mini strokes)
Unfortunately Mum brushed them off and ended up having a large stroke.

Migraines, especially with aura can cause this apparently.

I don't know if this is gonna help, but I am suffering from migraine as well. I have been using an app called Migraine Buddy for years now, to help me dealing with the symptoms and try to find what are the reliefs that work best for me. Just spreading the word because it really worked well for me so I hope it can help other people too

This. I had migraines all through my teen years and suffered aphasia a lot which is forgetting perfectly normal everyday words.
I would be saying, "I mean the thing that cooks the stuff. You know the stuff you put the yellow thing on. Ugh! Erm... not margarine, the other stuff. Butter! What you put butter on when it's cooked!"

Toaster. I was talking about a toaster. And it drove me and mum mad. One day I mentioned it (as I usually did in migraine related appointments) to a different doctor than my regular one and he explained that and other symptoms, particularly the confusion and tingling or numbness down one side was likely to be TIAs. He changed my medication.

I'm done with migraines now after having kids pretty much cured them for 90% of the year but I have noticed a lasting effect. In person you can't see it but in photographs, my left side looks paralysed. My smile is halved and my left eye droops. I have to make the effort to exaggerate my smile on my left and open my left eye widely to compensate. My doctor said it was likely to be a result of the mini strokes.

Thanks everyone. It’s a family thing. Mum and brother get them and my ds too. I’ve been getting migraines for nearly 40 years but now I only get them a few times a year and just carry on, whereas before they were really bad where I had to just go to bed. I know my doc will just tell me to keep an eye on it if I go now but for sure if it happens again, or anything like it, I will seek further help.
